While the NBA Playoffs haven’t lacked drama, the dominant storyline in the sport this week is the NBA Draft Lottery. On Tuesday, the New Orleans Pelicans became the shocking winners of the Zion Williamson sweepstakes.

The franchise, which may have to move on from its last No. 1 pick in Anthony Davis, jumped up with just a 6-percent chance to claim the top pick. Now, they have the chance to land the Duke phenom.

Naturally, every major mock draft has Williamson heading to New Orleans. Given the intrigue surrounding Davis, there’s a lot of options for the franchise, but it seems overwhelmingly likely that Zion will land with the Pelicans.
